Re: moderate techwr-l?

     Gail (and all other contributors to this discussion),

     I believe, as I've said in the past, that each of the
     subscribers should moderate their own postings as well
     as should send a private admonishment to a contributor
     when they find something inappropriatly posted.

     I do not have the time or inclination to moderate this
     list; further, I think that having a moderated list
     would effectivly stifle many or most interesting
     discussions.

     I don't think that we necessarily have a problem (that
     said without having caught up on the 500 outstanding
     messages in my box). If we do have one, I don't think
     that moderating the list is the answer.

     Please send comments and discussion to me privately.

     Thanks!

     BTW: Restricting postings to those from subscribers
     excludes the USENET readers, therefore isn't
     acceptable. Good idea, though.
     I'm not about to start tweaking the LISTSERV code to
     exclude certain messages--that's what they pay their
     programmers for. ;-)

     A possible solution: I'd like to propose that we think about having
     the list moderated. Failing that, it may be possible to alter the list
     code to exclude some of the more common problem messages (like mailer
     daemons).

     What do you all think?
